Suddenly Sunday (June 27)

Hello Everyone! What's up? Hope you are enjoying your weekend. I just finished knitting a shawl for my mom and now it's soaking, getting ready to be blocked to beautifulness. Hubby is putting together a small shopping list, and in a bit we will brave the heat and go to the market. Exciting stuff, I know, try to control yourself.

With regards to reading, I'm in a bit of a slump. I have tried to finish The Dark Rose, second book of the Morland Dynasty. Yeah....not going well and not going to happen. I will be skimming the last 25% of the book. I'm bored and have no interest in these characters. Started reading Shadow of the Swords a novel about the Crusades from the Muslim point of view. Interesting, but I am already tired of reading about how hateful Richard the Lionheart is, and I'm about half way through. Love Saladin and his perspective and I knew King Richard was an asshat, but come on. Enough is enough. Move the story along. So I'm putting that down for a while.

Just finished a book titled Shattered Mirror. I could have finished it in a day, but I stretched it. Very short and quick but now I need something else. I'm in a holding pattern because I'm waiting on a book form the library and from TLC Book Tours. Oh I just got an idea. I have an ARC for August I could start now. Georgette Heyer’s Regency World by Jennifer Kloester. It's non-fiction but it's about the Regency World. Maybe I'll start that today.

I've also been changing around the blog, as I'm sure you may have noticed. Not sure I like both sidebars on one side. It makes me re size all my gadgets to fit. Don't be surprised if you see something different the next time you're here. I like to tinker but it's very time consuming.

Otherwise not much else going on. Oh wait! I have winners. Sorry about the delay. According to Random.org the winners are.....

Karen K

Linda

Now that really is about it. Well thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful week. Happy Reading :)

I wish I could knit....the extent of my needlework is cross stitch. I made my first pillow last weekend and was so excited :)

We did all of our "exciting" errands yesterday...fun stuff, especially in 100 degree heat! NOT!

I agree with your thoughts on The Dark Rose. I'm not ready to give up on the series just yet, but I really hope Book Three redeems it!

I'll also be reading Regency World for review, but I had some slack time in between scheduled reviews and decided to FINALLY read Legacy by Susan Kay, which is raved as THE book to read on Elizabeth I. You know I love me some Elizabeth :)

I like the new look and thanks for adding my button...you are so good to me! I tweaked my Royal Cribs blog, but not PTTP yet. You are so right about it being a time sucker!

I have heard several people saying that about the 2nd Morland Dynasty book. I haven't read any of them, but I don't really want to get involved in a series that long. I have enough to read as it is. Hopefully you find something good to read soon!

Hi Jenny, i'm sure the shawl is beautiful!I just finished a book with Richard the Lionheart in it. Called The Queens Pawn.Georgette Heyer’s Regency World sounds interesting.happy reading!congrats to the winners!http://thebookworm07.blogspot.com/

Congratulations to the winners! Btw, very cool header!Thank you for your comment at Royal Reads - yes Lady Jane Grey did get the short end of the stick but boy did she go down fighting! I liked her a lot! What the world would be had she been able to be Queen more than 9 days....Oh well! Thanks again :-)have a fantastic week!

About Me

I adore reading, knitting, watching TV, and laughing with friends. I occasionally go on a health kick too, but balance it with ice cream.
I'll never accomplish everything I would like, but I will sure as hell try.
Life is too short!
